SWEET POTATO, CARROT, APPLE, AND RED LENTIL SOUP
Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large, heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Place the chopped sweet potatoes, carrots, apple, and onion in the pot. Stir and cook the apples and vegetables until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Stir the lentils, ginger, ground black pepper, salt, cumin, chili powder, paprika, and vegetable broth into the pot with the apple and vegetable mixture. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the lentils and vegetables are soft, about 30 minutes. Working in batches, pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot. Return the pureed soup to the cooking pot. Bring back to a simmer over medium-high heat, about 10 minutes. Add water as needed to thin the soup to your preferred consistency. Serve with yogurt for garnish. Cook's Note This soup is also great served with crumbled feta cheese instead of yogurt as garnish.

Tips:
- Choose the right lentils: For this soup, green or brown lentils are the best choice. They hold their shape well and have a slightly peppery flavor that complements the sweetness of the apples.
- Sauté the vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables in olive oil before adding them to the soup helps to develop their flavor and create a more complex base for the soup.
- Use a flavorful broth: A good quality vegetable broth or chicken broth will add depth and richness to the soup. If you're using a store-bought broth, look for one that is low in sodium.
- Don't overcook the lentils: Lentils should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked lentils will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Add the apples at the end: The apples should be added to the soup towards the end of the cooking time so that they retain their texture and sweetness.
- Season to taste: Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
Conclusion:
Apple and lentil soup is a hearty, flavorful, and nutritious soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover apples.
